ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP(continued)
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by
pressing switch2, warning light1
will light up to confirm this.
This action also deactivates traction
control: see the information on the
traction control system in section 2.As the ESP offers additional safety,
it is recommended that you do not
drive when the function is disabled.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing button2again.
Note:ESP is automatically
reactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
Faults
When the system detects an
operating fault, warning lights1
and3light up.
Consult your Renault Dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
This system helps to limit skidding
on drive wheels and to control the
vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the vehicle to be
adapted to the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver.It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
The system uses sensors in the
wheels to constantly measure and
compare the speed of the drive
wheels and prevents them spinning.
If a wheel is tending to skid, the
system brakes automatically until
the drive delivered becomes
compatible with the level of grip.The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the action
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,
message1lights up to confirm this.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM(continued)
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very
wet ground: snow, mud,... or
driving with chained wheels), the
system may reduce the engine
power to limit skidding. It is
possible to deactivate the function
by pressing switch2if this is not
desirable.
Warning light1lights up.Disabling the traction control
function also deactivates the ESP
function: refer to the information on
the ESP in section 2.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch2again.
Note:traction control is
automatically reactivated when the
ignition is switched on.
Operating faults
When the system detects an
operating fault, warning lights1
and3light up.
Consult your Renault Dealer.

HEATING - VENTILATION AND ISOLATING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT(continued)
Isolating the passenger
compartment
ButtonC
Normal operation of the system is
obtained using external air.
The air recirculation position allows
the passenger compartment to be
isolated from the external atmosphere
(driving in polluted areas...).
To enter the isolation mode, press
buttonC.This function allows the desired
warmth of the passenger
compartment to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This button switches the air
recirculation system on or off.
Warning lightDcomes on when the
function is operational. In this
position, air is taken from within the
passenger compartment and is
recycled without outside air entering.Prolonged use of the isolation mode
may cause odours due to the air not
being renewed and may cause the
windows to mist up.
Return to normal operation (external
air) by pressing buttonCas soon as
the polluted area is left behind.
